A person's highlight (2)

1. The opening soundtrack reminds me of the huge white curtain in "Neon Demon", which is a religious baptism under the brilliance; Los Angeles in the dark night has the mystery of an ancient castle.

2. Nails on the forehead, a poetic representation of Jesus-style crucifixion; swallowing (silver) bullets is the verdict death of witches; mask killer, black and white impermanence pronounced death.

3. The intimacy scene in the elevator is the highlight, but the silence is only for a moment, and the high-level display of coldness and tenderness. The moment the scorpion took shape, the elevator door closed, and the bridge between the two worlds collapsed instantly.

4. Scorpions and frogs, Commander Gao is a scorpion with countless clones, with a slow spread of poison; the others are frogs, with tempting predation, the river is fast, and it is impossible to end well.

5. The negotiation in the hotel reminds me of "Inception", the top keeps spinning, and the dream continues; one day in the dream, ten thousand years in the world, the reality of expectation and fear. The plots that can't go back are all love, one is reluctance to leave, and the other is thinking about leaving.

6. The blinking game at the end reminds me of the death in "Stay in Time", the existentialism of romantic death.
